Smoothies.

If like me you have a little person in your house who’s not keen on fruit or veg then smoothies are a fantastic way to introduce vitamins and minerals into their diet.  And if you can get them involved in preparing the fruit and making it with you, all the better. I often use smoothies as a mid morning or mid afternoon filler-upper. Keep a bag of frozen berries(Lidl or Aldi) in your freezer. then use whatever fruit and/or veg you have in the kitchen. Use up anything that’s about to turn,(black bananas, peaches or plums or kiwis that are very ripe, you get the idea). Grated carrots and celery work well too.  My smoothies usually consist of 2 bananas, a couple of handfuls of frozen berries, what ever fruit needs to be used up from the fruit bowl, a couple of glasses of apple/orange juice or milk/yoghurt and I always add a couple of handfuls of porridge oats. The oats are obviously full of goodness and make the smoothie really filling. And if you find the berries are a little bitter then add some honey.  Smoothies are high in natural sugars so drinking through a straw is good and don’t make them everyday to save little teeth.
